"No." Lilian Jackson beca agitated, "You don’t have to obey the old man blindly."
"I want you to leave." Koa Jackson’s tone was cold enough to freeze.
"Can’t you think for yourself, or think about Aunt Ayla? She loves you so much, how could she let you marry soone like that..."
"Lilian Jackson!" Koa Jackson was completely furious.
But Lilian Jackson was already enraged, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you not mind picking up worn-out shoes from others? Mia Ginger’s adoptive mother was a madam! She was a girlfriend of a thug from Eastern Peak Village,
Her words fell, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Koa Jackson looked at her coldly, his gaze sharp as a blade.
"Koa, I..."
Lilian Jackson then realized what she said, hesitated for a second, and explained stubbornly, "Everything I said is true. If you don’t believe , send soone to Eastern Peak Village to ask, and you’ll know that she was entangled with a thug nad Jimmy Cox. The Cox Family and the Myres Family have close ties, and what they do are all shady deals..."
She desperately explained, only to find Koa Jackson was not looking at her at all.
Lilian Jackson instinctively turned her head to look.
Mia Ginger was standing at the door, her fair face flushed red, lips tightly pursed, her bright black eyes bursting with a pressing light.
Seeing her turn her head, she walked in one step at a ti.
Her movents were slow, as if every step was making a significant decision.
Lilian Jackson involuntarily stepped back.
A bit guilty.
The words just now were half true and half false, she had no definite evidence, but had long since concluded that Mia Ginger must have an extrely disgraceful past.
Thinking of this, Lilian Jackson stood a bit straighter.
Her expression stern.
"What did you say just now?" Mia Ginger approached, looked up at her, and slowly spoke.
She and Lilian Jackson were about the sa height, but Lilian Jackson wore high heels, making her half a head taller, so Mia had to slightly tilt her head when asking questions.
Clearly in a disadvantageous position, she appeared thin and frail, yet her slow words stunned Lilian Jackson fiercely, making it difficult for her to speak further.
Though she was Butler Jackson’s daughter, her status in the Jackson Family was just as high as Marianne Jackson, always seeing herself as a lady of high society, insisting on speaking with refinent.
Earlier in a fit of anger, she spewed words like "worn-out shoes" and "madam", and now...
But now, she couldn’t bring herself to utter those words.
Koa Jackson stood on the side with a cold expression, not knowing what he was thinking, and remained silent.
The room was suffocatingly quiet.
The bright sumr sunlight stread in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, yet seed devoid of warmth, the expressions of all three were as cold as ice.
"What did you say just now?" Mia Ginger asked again, word by word, aggressively.
"I had soone investigate you..." Lilian Jackson took a breath, about to speak, when Mia Ginger directly raised her hand, and a loud slap struck across.
Lilian Jackson’s entire face turned to the side, feeling a bit dazed.
Mia Ginger glared at her, teeth gritted, her pitch-black eyes filled with angry tears, saying word by word, "What proof do you have? What gives you the right to spew nonsense here? Tell , what right do you have?!"
She shouted the last sentence, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
Mia Ginger raised her hand, harshly wiped her tears, her red eyes still fixedly staring at Lilian Jackson, persistent and aggressive, "You speak, if you’re capable, repeat what you said just now, who is the madam, who is the worn-out shoe, speak! I’m telling you to speak!"
